the true meaning of a JuntaEaster huh? Gawdski, where do
the junta get all this "talent"? The graveyard?
Historical Outline Of The FARC-EP
Now Available In English: "Historical Outline Of The FARC-EP"
"Historical Outline Of The FARC-EP", originally "Esbozo Historico FARC-EP" in
Spanish, is now available. It effectively summarizes the epic struggle of
the Colombian people and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia-People's Army (FARC-EP) to build a new Colombia, free of the
decades-long injustice, state terrorism, and gross human rights violations.
The book consists of contributions from veteran guerrillas and historical
documents and photos from 1964 to 1999.
The book discovers the roots of this struggle in the horrendous violence
unleashed after 1947 by Colombia's U.S.-backed ruling oligarchy against
its opponents. Popular resistance finally forced the ruling circles to
change tactics, and in 1964, at Marquetalia, Tolima, the government
launched a massive attack on 48 peasants defending themselves against
state terror. The FARC-EP was born of their defiant response.
They persevered in struggle for peace with social justice and now operate
nationwide at the heart of opposition to the oligarchy and
neo-liberalism. The FARC-EP's successes have obliged the government to
talk peace since January 7, 1999. Documents from this period conclude the
book.
This publication will help to clear the fog of misinformation about the
just struggle of the FARC-EP and the Colombian people and defeat the media
campaign slandering the FARC-EP as "narco-guerrillas" and "terrorists".
